3D remake of Beauty and the Beast

[Marshall Banana]

Meh.

[Madame Adequate]

I'm not sure what all the outrage is here - they're not remaking the film as such, it's the same bloody film, just done in 3-D. You can argue that such an exercise is redundant and just there to rake in some cash, and you might be right, but this is the film industry and such things are nothing new I'm afraid.

Doubly true given that it's fairly common practise for Disney to release certain movies repeatedly anyway.

>>> I hope those are directed by Tetsuya Nomura..

This thread is so full of prejudice, it makes me sick.

Prejudice against what? Oh and I thought you meant CG 3-D. I'm glad that's settled I still say it's kind of unnecessary especially since Beaty and The Beast is a romance.

Instead of putting out a worthless 3D remake, though, I want Disney to make the classics more available. A few years ago I paid about fifty dollars for my Platinum Edition DVD of Beauty and the Beast (the menu of which features a really ugly 3D recreation of Belle's town, by the way), and I don't know whether there are other editions of Beauty and the Beast (there's a recent one, I think), but I do know that I couldn't just go to a store and find it (because it's in the Disney Vault).

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is the same; it was released only once on DVD in 2001 or 2002 (I'm not sure), so it was hard for me to find online for less than fifty dollars (that's why I never purchased it). It will finally be released again this year, I think.

The Little Mermaid will be in the Vault soon, so, probably, I won't see The Little Mermaid on store shelves for another seven years or so.

Plus, a 3D remake is a stupid idea (just like Disney's fairies). :kaolaugh:

Disney sure knows how to make money, I'll give them that.

What, it's obvious. "Omg CG can't work in a movie like this!1"

No way of knowing until you've seen it. Not that it seems to be happening with this movie though, but that's besides the point.

I agree that the Disney policy of only having some DVDs out for a certain time before essentially deleting them and making them bloody hard to find is infuriating. I never got Beauty and the Beast when it was released on DVD and now can't get hold of it so easily. I did hear though that they may be re-releasing it on DVD when the 3D-version is out.

I don't think anybody was saying that it wouldn't work, it's just unnecessary.

I'm still surprised that a kids movie from the early 90's where the character LeFou (Gaston's short assistant guy) who is so clearly homosexual was received with so little resistance in the first place.

[Miriel]

This is the worst thing I've ever heard.
